CO2 is what green plants BREATHE....in fact the more CO2 there is the GREENER the planet......you would think tree huggers would know that.....go figure.

Ahm... not quite. Carbon dioxide concentration does have a direct relation with rate of photosythesis; however, too high a concentration can inhibit the light-independent reactions (though certain plants have evolved around this inhibition). Anyway, any increases in rates of photosynthesis are most likely negated by clearing trees and other plant life (lowering the amount of carbon dioxide that gets converted to oxygen) while continuing to burn more fossil fuel (increasing carbon dioxide concentration).
